![praying for leaders [1 timothy 2:1-3]](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/white-house-prayer-100x100.jpg)
No matter your political persuasion we can most likely agree on one thing – our world has a crisis of leadership. This crisis has affected all political parties, most companies, and even church leaders (which is not surprising anymore). These failed leaders impact our own lives by more government regulations and a scar on our [...]

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t ‘belong’ then you need to read this. In fact, even if you’ve never felt that way, then you should still read this to understand an important principle. Sometimes people can be very unfair. We put labels on others that they really don’t deserve. And these labels can ultimately define one’s future. The next [...]

We all want our lives to have some sort of impact. If it’s not in the workplace, then it may be at home with our kids, in the community, or a variety of other places. Wherever it is, the human condition causes us to have this deeply rooted need for our lives to actually mean [...]

![[management by God] the 7 biggest mistakes of a self-centered leader](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/abimelech-100x100.gif)
Succeeding in the workplace usually takes a great deal of talent. However, you can excel at all of the technical areas of your job, but never see the advancement and growth within your organization if you don’t have certain leadership qualities. This is the case with Abimelech. Abimelech was the son of Gideon (a.k.a. Jerubbaal which means “contender [...]

Believe. If I could sum up what I am about to share with you in one word, that would be it. Believe. I had the pleasure of being the Teacher Coordinator with my church’s Vacation Bible School, a week-long program for kids aged 4-12. While I was in charge of teaching them some very valuable [...]
[management by God] risk management
![[management by God] risk management](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/risk-100x100.gif)
Risk Management has been defined as, “the process of measuring, or assessing risk and developing strategies to manage it.” When you go into any new project or other type of initiative, you must weigh out your risks. Missing this means your project could run into obstacles that you aren’t prepared to handle, and this could [...]
[management by God] relentless pursuit

One sentence is all that was recorded about his time as a leader. And one comment about his era of leadership was made later by another leader. The third recorded Judge in Israel’s history barely gets a mention. This makes me wonder what this man Shamgar must have been like. Regardless of the impact of [...]

Momentum is a funny thing… When you have it, it seems like it would take the whole world to stop it. But when you don’t, it seems to take the whole world to get it. A train running away at 60 mph could smash through a brick wall, but a train at rest couldn’t move [...]

Remember the scene in Braveheart when Mel Gibson’s character, William Wallace, was giving the freedom speech just before the big battle? I’ve often wondered what it takes to be such a leader. It would be really cool to be able to rally people the way that William Wallace did. Imagine the influence it would require [...]
[management by God] executive-leader qualifications
![[management by God] executive-leader qualifications](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/paul-100x100.jpg)
What is it that makes a leader? Some say that leaders are born that way. Others say that leaders can be made. So the key question is really about whether someone can come to possess the qualities that a leader should have. However, before anyone can determine whether someone can learn them or not, we [...]
bible college papers: heresies, leaders, and rapid church growth
Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. – George Santayana While it’s not likely that Santayana and I hold the same religious beliefs, his ideas about history do resonate with me. In my pursuit of my degree in Church Ministries from Global University, [...]
